The Return of Denim

Gucci

Tommy Hilfiger

This summer, the fashion industry is all over denim. On the S/S 2015 catwalk, the likes of Burberry and Gucci demonstrated just how denim should be worn- but that doesn't mean you can't rock it too. Having spent a few hours longer than I probably should have internet-shopping this week, I have selected my top picks on what you should be wearing this season.

Fendi

Burberry

Perhaps my favourite find of all is this gorgeous shift dress. Paired with some boots and a flower headband, this dress would be perfect for one of this summer's festivals.

Monki: Stella Denim Dress, £30

You can simply never go wrong with a shirt. Wear as a jacket, tuck into a skirt or just wear with a pair of leggings, the probability of buying a denim shirt and regretting it is very, very unlikely.

TopShop: MOTO Fitted Western Shirt, £29

Arguably the most popular choice of denim attire at the moment is this skirt, with buttons lined down the front. It's smart, it's cute- it can be worn to have any effect you so desire. A serious must-buy.

Cooperative by Urban Outfitters: A-Line

Denim Skirt in Blue, £39

Just look how adorable this playsuit is. Wearing this with a massive, floppy hat, sunnies and some gladiators could win you the look of the summer.

New Look: Light Blue Denim Roll Sleeve Playsuit, £22.99

This sweet bra-and-skirt combo is the epitome of festival fashion. Nobody wants to feel too restrained in their summer clothes, and this outfit will provide the coolness you need on a sweltering summer day (that's if these days even exist in the UK...)

Monki: Denim Bra Top, £20 and Midi Denim Skirt, £25

Last, but by no means least, is this incredible denim boilersuit. Not only a winner for this season, this all-in-one will never look dated, and can also be worn in any season without a problem.

TopShop: MOTO Indigo Utility Boilersuit, £65

"I Cry When I Laugh" - Jess Glynne - Album Review

Not many artists can say that they've had five number ones before releasing their debut album but one 25-year-old can. Known for featuring in the song of 2014 ‘Rather Be’, Jess Glynne has come a long way since her rejection from The X-Factor ten years ago. Her album, ‘I Cry When I Laugh’, retains the dance vibes she has become renowned for from her singles, but also experiments with softer sounds, notably on album track ‘Take Me Home’. Citing her influences to include Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin and Frank Ocean, the album diverts away from the typical pop regime, with elements of R&B featuring in the tracks. For the album, the London girl palled up with fellow British artist Emeli San d é t o collaborate on “Saddest Vanilla”- an appropriate name choice for a song so lackadaisical. Despite the docile pace of the song, this track stands out- for all the wrong reasons. I can appreciate the fact that Glynne wanted a mix of tempos on the album but the dreary track merely ...

12 Problems Only People with Glasses Will Understand

17th May 2008. The day my dreads became reality: I got my first pair of glasses. I'd seen it coming for a few months prior to it, but there was still a part of me clutching on to the idea that perhaps my eyesight was just blurry because of the side effects of some peculiar, undiagnosed illness I'd had. Yeah, I was pretty desperate. However, just because the optician tells you to start wearing glasses, that doesn't mean you to have to, right? ...Wrong, but that's what I did anyway, up until late 2012, when it got to the stage where I felt like my grades were being affected by my near-sightedness. Don't get me wrong- I don't have anything against glasses-wearers; in fact, I genuinely do believe glasses can look sublime. It's just the hassle of wearing them that frustrates me to this very day. If you forget your glasses, you're completely, and utterly, stuck. Every activity you attempt to complete at work that day becomes 19842 times more d...

Interview with ‘Sick’ scriptwriter and performer Shey Hargreaves

From hunting down a patient’s lost teeth to witnessing someone turn down potentially life-saving treatment, scriptwriter Shey Hargeaves’ experience of working for the NHS was eye-opening to say the least. Reflecting on her time in a hospital, Shey shares tales of resilience and humour in her hour-long show Sick . “It’s scary!” Shey exclaims as I ask what it has been like leading a one-woman show for the first time. “You're totally on your own out there. But, it's quite nice because you're in control. That means you can play off the audience more. I think that makes for quite a warm, responsive kind of show.” The stories behind Sick are authentic accounts from the four-year period Shey spent within the NHS. Having completed a Master’s in Scriptwriting at the University of East Anglia, Shey was looking to find work when she came across a receptionist position for an Emergency Medical Assessment Unit in 2013. “If I had to be in a reasonably low-paid job and pay t...
